5.00This was a fabulous tour. Nicola, our guide, was very knowledgeable and charming. He guided us through the alleyways and backwaters on a quieter Venice with commentary via an earpiece. We learnt a lot about the history, local culture and recommendations for eating , drinking and shopping that are off the tourist routes. Best tour of our holiday. Thank you.
Elle was a terrific guide!
